Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins and β-barrels01:09

Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins and β-barrels

5.3K
In multi-pass transmembrane proteins, the polypeptide chain crosses the membrane more than once. The transmembrane polypeptide chain either forms an α-helix or β-strand structure. α-Helix containing multi-pass transmembrane proteins are ubiquitous, whereas β-strand containing ones are mainly found in gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.

Clathrin Coated Vesicles01:12

Clathrin Coated Vesicles

6.9K
Clathrin-coated vesicles use endocytosis to transport receptors and lysosomal hydrolases from the Golgi to the lysosome in the late secretory pathway. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis was the first described endocytic process, and Clathrin-coated vesicles remain one of the most well-studied transport vesicles. The molecular machinery that generates clathrin-coated vesicles comprises over 50 proteins that precisely coordinate vesicle formation. Cell surface receptors concentrated in indented sites...

Pore Transport and Ion-Pair Transport01:17

Pore Transport and Ion-Pair Transport

426
Pore transport and ion-pair formation are critical mechanisms for the absorption and distribution of drugs in the body.
Pore transport, also known as convective transport, is a process where small molecules like urea, water, and sugars rapidly cross cell membranes as though there were channels or pores in the membrane. Although direct microscopic evidence is limited  but the concept of pores or channels is widely accepted based on physiological evidence. Despite the lack of direct...

Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Porous materials typically exist as extended networks or discrete cavities.
  • Porous structures of intermediate size, bridging these extremes, remain underexplored.
  • Metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) offer tunable porous architectures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize novel oligomeric porous molecules with a finite number of MOP units.
  • To explore the stepwise linkage of discrete MOPs into larger, well-defined structures.
  • To investigate the properties of these intermediate-sized porous materials.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of 1-connected (1-c) MOPs with a single azide reactive site.
  • Copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click chemistry for MOP linkage.
  • Characterization of resulting dimeric, tetrameric, and satellite-like giant oligomeric molecules.

Main Results:

  • Successfully prepared soluble, permanently porous giant molecules through stepwise MOP assembly.
  • Demonstrated the formation of defined oligomeric structures (dimeric, tetrameric, satellite-like).
  • Established a method for creating intermediate-sized porous materials from discrete MOP building blocks.

Conclusions:

  • The study introduces a new class of intermediate-sized porous materials based on oligomeric MOPs.
  • These giant molecules are water-soluble and retain porosity in the solid state.
  • The findings open avenues for designing bespoke porous materials with controlled architectures.
